Suicide risk in patients with major depressive disorder.

The long-term outcome of Maudsley depressives.
Alan S. Lee,Robin M. Murray +1 more
TL;DR: Patients at the psychotic end of the continuum were more likely to be readmitted and to have very poor outcomes, and there was a high incidence of other disorders (schizoaffective disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia).

The Long-Term Outcome of Depressive Illness
TL;DR: Patients with endogenous depression, none of whom developed schizophrenia during the follow-up period, were more likely to need readmission than patients with an index diagnosis of neurotic depression, and the prognosis for the two types of depression was the same, with considerable morbidity evident in both.

Decreasing lithium dosage reduces morbidity and side-effects during prophylaxis
TL;DR: It was concluded that a once a day dosage with a sustained release lithium preparation that maintained a 12-h plasma level of about 0.6 mmol/l is both more effective and produces less side effects than does conventional dosages.

An 11-year follow-up study of 110 depressed patients.
TL;DR: There was a statistically significant association between the amount of time patients spent in depressive episodes and the number of life events they reported and in women, a trend linking the presence of social impairment and the time spent in episodes was observed.
